From the eaccelerator homeeAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator, optimizer, and dynamic content cache. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times.

This one’s for Dreamhost accounts. It will work for some other shared hosts as well. In case you need it setup on your server let us know through the Contact Form

Make sure you have your own custom php-fcgi (notice the ‘f’ it cost me two hours to figure that out) compiled and running the site where you want to enable eaccelerator. Detailed instructions rolling your own custom php are available elsewhere on this site.

get eaccelerator latest version and compile it

add the settings to the relevant php.ini

all set roll

For eaccelerator
The exports are for making sure you work with the right php. Again you will need autoconf, automake and php-devel(phpize) for the compile to work.
